Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a church built in 1875, constructed from pitch-faced stone with ashlar dressings and topped with a pitched slate roof, which has a lower chancel roof. The building features a 3-bay nave with a lean-to south aisle and a gabled south porch, as well as a 2-bay chancel. The aisle has four simple lancet windows, while the clerestorey is adorned with six 6-foiled windows arranged in circles. The nave windows are designed as 2-light windows with 6-foils in the heads, and the east window is a 3-light window with a 6-foil in the head. The west window consists of 2-lights with a trefoil in the head, topped by a large wheel window in the gable apex. A tall, slender octagonal wooden bell-cote with a slated base and traceried open sides surmounts the nave, complemented by a slender, sprocketed fleche. There is also a vestry wing on the north side.

Inside, the church features a 3-bay arcade to the south supported by short octagonal piers with moulded capitals. The large chancel arch is set on rectangular responds, and both the nave and chancel have scissor-braced roofs with wind bracing. A well-carved stone pulpit, adorned with relief figures of Christ and two saints, was created in 1899 in memory of Fitzgerald Thomas Wintour, who served as Rector of High Hoyland for 31 years. The west window is also dedicated to Wintour, dating from 1898, alongside other late 19th-century stained glass associated with the Wintour and Waites families. At the west end of the nave, there is a carved oak memorial to Charles John Wintour R.N., who commanded the 4th destroyer flotilla at the Battle of Jutland Bank in 1916 and was killed in action. This memorial features a large rectangular base topped with a low-relief carving of a destroyer, with a cartouche above displaying a helmet and crest, and trophies in 18th-century style on the sides.
